Yesterday, we learned more about the “Stargate Project” - an American AI initiative focused on winning the AI arms race against China. This project promises a staggering $500 billion in funding for AI infrastructure.

I recently sat down with Harmonic’s head of security, Ed Merrett, to speak about trust centers, technical transparency, and why we vendors need to do a better job of communicating how we’re protecting our customers’ data.

Our new research just dropped today and includes some unique insights into what kind of sensitive data was uploaded into GenAI tools in 2024.

Over the next 18-24 months, organizations will face an increasingly complex regulatory environment as governments accelerate their oversight of artificial intelligence (AI). Among the most impactful frameworks right now is the EU AI Act, which officially entered force in August 2024. The first phase of its rollout begins in less than 1 month.

It’s been another busy month here at Harmonic. We have released eight(!) new detections across IT and security, legal and finance, and software engineering use cases. 

Harmonic Security and KnowBe4 have today announced new integrations between their two platforms which will enable security teams to dynamically assign security training based on real-world, GenAI data privacy risks.
